Oh... I never want to get a machine shipped now... (except if Billy packs it!).

The parts that you have loose look like the pan screw and pin for the hinge maybe?
I am so sorry about the busted machine but it is fixable and you should be refunded for the entire purchase seeing that its close to $400 in damage. I hope it was insured for his sake.

Couldn't you just repaint/repair the whole machine and use that motor - or is the motor ruined?

The 'green' machine was a 185J or something like that, peeling, not a happy machine. Old white plastic case, now yellowed. YUCK.
She dug out the "15-91". She swore up and down that that was what it was. I looked at the black leatherette case and said... "Mom, I can tell by the case it's not a 15-91. Let's get her out and open it up. As I expected, I opened it up and pulled out a BEAUTIFUL black 221 FW! MINTY. NICE. I REALLY WANT IT.
The rest of the machines were garbage singers. She must have had about 10 of them! ....

You had to be honest -- you did what was right to do -- but, it is too bad you didn't get that FW. If you do ever get any of these machines, post them so we can see what you got. How did you MIL come by all these machines? And, what were the 'garbage' Singers. Another machine that is really nice to own is the Rocketeer Singer -- the 500 series machines. Did she have that one?

How was it packed? (did you take a picture of that, too??)
Has the seller sold and shipped other machines? If so, please PM me his seller name.

I found a beige, Morse Apollo 6400 in pristine shape - not a scratch, at a thrift store and wondering if it's worth buying.
It's in a sad looking cabinet, but the machine looks clean and new.
